Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of apixaban when co-administered with cyclosporine and tacrolimus in healthy volunteers. The study participants will receive apixaban alone, cyclosporine followed by apixaban and tacrolimus followed by apixaban.
This study compares the efficacy and complication rates of early (24 hours) versus late (72 hours) VTE prophylaxis administration to TBI patients. Patients in both treatment groups will be monitored for development of VTE as well as complications from bleeding after commencement of VTE prophylaxis.
Patients hospitalized in internal wards are at risk for VTE. The current guidelines recommend the use of thromboprophylaxis for 7-10 days among patients who are at increased risk for VTE. Yet several retrospective studies have shown that the compliance with this guideline is low. Physicians are often reluctant to administer LMWH to their fragile patients mainly because they are not convince that the risk associated with such therapy is greater than the risk for VTE. In the current study, data concerning the use of thromboprophylaxis among patients admitted to the medical wards will be collected. The occurrence of bleeding or thrombotic event will be evaluated prospectively.
The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is very high in trauma patients, secondary to tissue injury, venous status from immobilization, and thrombophilia. As such, early initiation of VTE prophylaxis is essential in this population. The competing risks of life threatening hemorrhage and VTE need to be considered very carefully. Potential approaches to VTE prophylaxis include pharmacologic means, and mechanical devices. For patients unable to receive pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis, retrievable inferior vena cava filters (rIVCFs) may be placed until low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) can be initiated, as per guidelines such as Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma The investigators propose a feasibility study to determine whether or not our center can insert rIVCFs in at-risk trauma patients expeditiously enough to cause a meaningful reduction in the time they are left unprotected to PE.
'The TOP Study' is a prospective cohort study whose main objective is to develop better prognostic biomarkers and identify children at risk of adverse thrombotic outcomes very early in the course after an initial venous thromboembolic events (VTE). The study will compare biomarkers in children that develop poor VTE outcomes (such as recurrence, postthrombotic syndrome and post PE impairment ) after an initial VTE with those that do not develop such outcomes.
Rivaroxaban or placebo for extended antithrombotic prophylaxis after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer: a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study.
Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent and burdensome complication of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). In the absence of curative treatment of established PTS, its management is based on the prevention of its occurrence thanks to anticoagulants and compression stockings. So far, predictors of disabling PTS are unknown precluding from optimally selecting patients for invasive (early thrombus removal) or innovative/expensive treatments. In addition, little is known on the incidence of PTS in the very long-term. Objectives: To assess, 12 years after a symptomatic venous thromboembolic (VTE) event, Primary objective: incidence and severity of PTS after a lower limb DVT. Main Secondary objectives: 1. Incidence and severity of PTS according to VTE initial presentation (isolated distal DVT, isolated proximal DVT, PE + DVT). 2. Incidence and risk factors of disabling PTS Methods: Very long-term follow-up (12 years) of patients recruited in the large, multicentre, prospective, observational OPTIMEV study for a suspicion of VTE confirmed or ruled out with objective tests (Clinical Trials NCT00670540). All patients with a DVT, an isolated PE and a random selection of controls (VTE - patients without any history of VTE after the 3 years of follow-up) will first benefit from a phone-PTS assessment. Those patients presenting at least a mild venous insufficiency and a selection of controls will undergo a clinical follow-up visit with clinical and Compleat Ultra Sound (CUS) assessment of PTS/venous insufficiency and an assessment of quality of life. Perspectives: Improving our knowledge of PTS' incidence and predictors and of the impact of usual treatment. Better selecting patients eligible for invasive/innovative/expensive preventative procedures.
Apixaban for the treatment of venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer: a prospective randomized open blinded end-point (PROBE) study
The aim of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis by the combination of graduated compression stockings (GCS), standard doses of low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH) and sequential compression device (SCD) in the mixed group of surgical patients at high and extremely high risk for venous thromboembolism.
The aim of the study is to make a validation of Caprini score in patients undergoing varicose veins surgery, especially endovascular procedures (endovascular laser treatment - EVLT, radiofrequency ablation - RFA, ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy - USFS) and to identify patients with elevated risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) who will benefit from prophylactic anticoagulation.
